Dakota Dinosaur: Bigger, Faster

"Spectacular Mummified Dinosaur Found in North Dakota" - skin, muscle, maybe internal organs.

This duckbill dinosaur is something special, because it got fossilized before its soft tissues broke down. It's being put through a CT scanner that Boeing uses to take a look inside airplanes and shuttle engines. Just as exciting, samples of the fossilized dinosaur flesh are going through chemical analysis.
